Thrift Shop Thursday: High Waist Shorts

Hey there ya’ll! Welcome to my 4th installment of Thrift Shop Thursdays! I hope you all have had a good week! Just one more day and then its the weekend!

Now for this post, I’m going to be talking about these shorts. I’m sure everyone has heard of American Apparel. Now I’m also sure that everyone knows how damn expensive it is! Well I got EXTREMELY lucky during one of my thrifting adventures and came across a pair of these AA high waisted denim shorts. And even luckier, IN MY SIZE! I have a pair that I actually bought full retail price ($65) and then when I found them at DeeLux for only $16…I had to get them! I didn’t even care if I already had a pair!!

So basically the different looks I came up with (two are very similar) I had pinned on my #OOTD board from Pinterest. The first two looks from left to right I went for a more casual, not trying type of look. Skater almost. Total poser I guess, I can’t skate to save my life lol.

Now the third look on the very right was my favorite! I got so many compliments on the ensemble, I took pride in the fact that I re-created my pin board so spot on. I was going for a hipster pixie look. Channeled my inner book worm hipster classy persona. I would definitely wear it again but maybe with a hawaiian shirt.

A simple change of the shirt can turn the skater girl into a cool hipster chick real quick. Add a few accessories and a “too mainstream” attitude and your good to go!

There are a ton more looks I want to try with these shorts but with Southern California wrapping up with Winter…its looking like future outfits will be based around the hot weather…so basically less is better!

You are so lucky to be able to wear shorts, we are at -1C with freezing rain, and this is a warm day! I especially love the third hipster look, very cool. Cheers, Michele

[…] I wore this look out for a Sunday of shopping in Costa Mesa with the Jeralds siblings! Bought some cute accessories, yummy coffee and these CREEPERS! Yes! I found a pair of creepers at the thrift store for less than $20 freaking dollars!!! So you better believe I will be featuring these in an upcoming TST!! […]
